Kielland, Alexander Lange

▪ Norwegian writer
born February 18, 1849, Stavanger, Norway
died April 6, 1906, Bergen

      novelist, short-story writer, and dramatist, one of the “big four” (with Henrik Ibsen (Ibsen, Henrik), B.M. Bjørnson (Bjørnson, Bjørnstjerne Martinius), and Jonas Lie (Lie, Jonas)) of 19th-century Norwegian literature.

      The scion of an aristocratic family, Kielland took a law degree in 1871 and purchased a brickyard, which he managed for nine years. Discontented, he went to Paris in 1878 and the next year published a collection of his short stories. Kielland had read widely in the literature of 19th-century liberalism, notably John Stuart Mill (Mill, John Stuart) and Georg Brandes (Brandes, Georg), and he dedicated his creative energies to social criticism and reform.

      An aggressive radical steeped in loyalty and tradition, Kielland was perhaps the foremost Norwegian prose stylist of his day. He was deeply influenced by the literary style of Hans Christian Andersen (Andersen, Hans Christian), and the witty and ironic temper of his work often took the edge off his biting social criticism. Kielland's most important novels are Garman & Worse (1880; Garman and Worse: A Norwegian Novel), in which he depicts the life of his native city of Stavanger; Arbeidsfolk (1881; “Working People”), in which he attacks Norway's state bureaucracy; Skipper Worse (1882; Eng. trans. Skipper Worse), in which he gives the prehistory of the Garman and Worse merchant families and strongly depicts the particular Pietist Christianity of the region; Gift (1883; “Poison”), an attack on the authoritarian school system of the time; Fortuna (1884; “Fortune”; Eng. trans. Professor Lovdahl), in which he achieves his best psychological portraiture; and Sankt Hans fest (1887; “Midsummer Festival”), in which he satirizes the hypocrisy of Norway's clergy. Kielland's hostile attitude toward the church never amounted to an attack on Christianity itself, only upon the worldliness and dishonesty of its clerical representatives. In this respect, he was influenced, as he was in so many other ways, by the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (Kierkegaard, Søren).

      After the emergence in the 1890s of the Neoromantic movement, which was a revolt against naturalism and the social-reforming novel, Kielland published very little. In 1891 he was elected mayor of his hometown and in 1902 district governor of Møre og Romsdal fylke (county).
